To the Chinese, it’s just called ‘food’
Most of America’s innovations have made their way to the UK, especially those relating to junk food. But one cultural artefact, to which we’ve been exposed for decades through American TV, never has: those little cardboard fold-up containers for Chinese food. So tonight, after the awesome Susie at Mac|Life sent some empty ones over along with a buttload of candy, we made* Chinese and carefully decanted it into these little boxes of joy and pretended we were living in New York. One observation: no wonder Americans are always taking leftovers out of the fridge the next day; these things are fucking huge. (That open one has a full portion hiding at the bottom of it.)
*Bought from M&S, heated in the microwave
